Product Description

Loaded with a 6.25" woofer, JBL's highly accurate LSR4326P powered studio monitors are a top choice for any project or recording studio. With 220 watts of amplification power on board, you won't have to worry about finding a matching external power source, and you'll have plenty of headroom to mix without the risk of distortion.

220 Watts of Bi-Amped Power in a High-Tech Cabinet Design

Each individual cabinet is precision bi-amped, with the hi-range-tweeter and mid- and low-range woofer matched to their own discrete amplifier. Incoming frequencies are split at a crossover frequency that's not only calibrated for ultimate speaker driver efficiency, but also to the LSR4326P's physical "waveguide" housing. JBL calls this holistic calibration technique "Linear Spatial Reference Technology," which is fancy way of saying that these monitors stay out of their own way, delivering your mix to your ears with maximum transparency and minimum coloration. Designed as high-end monitors for a digital production studio, the JBL LSR4326P features S/PDIF inputs in addition to its high-quality analog inputs, and ships with software that lets you manage your monitors directly from your computer workstation.

Use with the Optional LSR4300 Measurement Mic

Add the LSR4300 measurement microphone to take advantage of JBL's Room Mode Correction (RMC) tools. When you first set up your JBL LSR4326P pair, simply plug in the mic and push a button on the monitor. The speakers will produce a test tone that is picked up by the omnidirectional, flat-response microphone, and the fed back into and read by the monitors. RMC can sense common issues like standing bass waves and boundary coupling, and automatically adjust your speakers' output frequency response to compensate. That's all it takes to perfectly tune your reference monitors to your control room and ensure that what you're listening to is your mix and nothing else.

Simple Surround

Any post-production studio simply has to be able to mix in surround. Surround 5.1 has become standard in television and film, and if you're still waiting to upgrade to a surround mix monitor system, you don't have much time left before you become obsolete. You may be telling yourself that setting up a 5.1 mixing studio is overly complicated, but the intelligent networking capabilities of the JBL LSR4326P moots that excuse. Expanding from stereo to 5.1 within the LSR4326P framework is literally as easy as adding speakers. The intelligent networking electronics in each monitor keeps it in communication with the rest of the monitors in a network, allowing the speakers to calibrate as a single entity. If your control room is a little tight, and you don't think you've got the space for correct 5.1 placement, a plug-and-play surround network of JBL LSR4326Ps will auto-time align to ensure that the most accurate sound possible reaches the listening zone, regardless of spatial restrictions.

There are many hurdles to accurate mix monitoring, but the JBL LSR4326P goes a long way in eliminating all of them. From ease of setup to revolutionary, on-board RMC correction technology, these state-of-the-art reference monitors provide a direct conduit between you and your music. And the music is what it's all about.

Product Description

The biggest challenge for anyone producing audio is creating a mix that sounds great on all playback systems. Much of the problem is caused by the mixing room interacting with the studio monitors and creating an inaccurate picture at the mix position. JBL Professional, continuing its long tradition of revolutionary products, decided it was time to fix the problem.

Introducing the JBLLSR4300 Studio Monitors featuring RMC Room Mode Correction, JBL's exclusive technology that automatically analyzes and corrects the response of each speaker in the room for absolute accuracy at the mix position. The first studio monitors with powerful network intelligence built into each speaker specifically designed to deliver an accurate mix in any room, the LSR4300s are the ultimate monitor for modern production studios. The LSR4300 models feature stunning JBL sound, provide accurate mixes in any workspace, and are priced well within the reach of any project studio. The first self aware monitoring system, they're the only choice for music, post, broadcast, Surround 5.1, and beyond.

Stunning Sound

Stunning sound and revolutionary intelligence to analyze and correct the problems in any room.

Recording and mixing for long hours requires a superb sounding monitor with wide dynamic range, low distortion, and crystal clear response. The LSR4300 delivers. Starting with application built transducers engineered for extremely accurate response and superb power handling, the 4300's stunning sound makes long mix sessions a pleasure. For long-term reliability, the LSR4300 Series withstood the JBL loudspeaker torture test in which the system is driven to extraordinary levels for over 100 hours. Meeting higher standards than any other loudspeaker manufacturer, JBL's demanding test ensures that the LSR4300s will give you accurate mixes year after year.

Beyond Accurate

Great mixes start with an accurate monitor. The 4300 Series incorporates JBL's Linear Spatial Reference Technology that matches the exact geometry of the 4300's waveguide design with its transducers and crossover network to optimize the frequency response at the mix position. To ensure that this incredibly accurate monitor delivers superb mixes in the room you're working in, JBL's next generation RMC Room Mode Correction system incorporates a powerful analyzer into each speaker that automatically analyzes and compensates for problems caused by low frequency standing waves and proximity to boundaries. Truly putting technology to work, all of this is accomplished by simply plugging the LSR4300 calibration microphone into the speaker and pushing a button. A JBL first, the LSR4300 meter provides a reference of the output from each speaker in the system. The results are a revolution in professional mixing: a calibrated listening environment where the monitors truly work in harmony with the room. This creates a stunningly clear and articulate sound stage enabling reliable mixes that translate faithfully to the outside world.

Engineered for Digital Production

Today's digital production environments are all about precision and control. The LSR4300s powerful DSP platform provides full system networking and communication. Comprehensive LSR4300 Control Center Software provides total control of all system parameters directly from the workstation desktop. High resolution digital and analog inputs, plus a 'virtual monitor section' with input switching, master volume, mute and solo controls, enhance functionality of the entire system and provide comprehensive control at the mix position. The first professional studio monitor with automatic room compensation, centralized system control, and user-friendly simplicity, the LSR4300 Series is the most elegant and intelligent advancement of technology on behalf of better mixes ever offered in a studio monitor.

Surround Smart

The LSR4300 Series includes three models: The LSR4326P bi-amplified system with 6 in. woofer and 1 in. dome tweeter; the LSR4328P bi-amplified system with 8 in. woofer and 1 in. domed tweeter, and the LSR4312SP, 300 watt, powered 12 in. subwoofer. Designed for any application from simple stereo mixing to complex surround production, LSR4300 Series systems can be configured with up to eight main speakers in any desired mix of 6 in. and 8 in. models and two subwoofers. Since the small studio may lack the space to position surround channels at the optimal physical distance from the mix position, the system is automatically aligned so the sound arriving at the mix position from all speakers is synchronized producing a precise image regardless of each speaker's actual physical placement.

A system configured with the LSR4312SP subwoofer provides professional bass management of the main channels, plus LFE (low frequency effects) input, adjustable crossover points, and powerful features for surround sound production.

System Intelligence

Control of System Level, Individual Speaker SOLO, Input Source Selection, high and low frequency EQ settings, and adjustment of all parameters can be made from each speaker's front panel, with the system's infrared remote control, or with LSR4300 Control Center Software. For unprecedented performance and convenience the LSR4300 Series incorporates the Harman HiQnet protocol that enables a coordinated calibration of all speakers, intelligent configuration of surround sound systems, and synchronized control of all speakers in the system.

Reinforced for Mounting

Reinforced mounting points on each speaker allow convenient positioning and installation of multi-channel surround systems for any mixing application, in any environment.

LSR4326P

The 4326P is designed for working in home studios or small project studios, for music and audio elements for television, feature films and electronic games.

"Excellent monitors!"

Sound:
For the price range I could not have found a better monitor. I compared these to several others including the Dynaudio BM5A, KRK RP8, Yamaha HS80M, Event Precision 6, etc. and found these to be the most neutral and accurate of the bunch. When I got these home and set them up using the RMC setup routine they fit the room better than I could have imagined.
Feature:
RMC, built-in EQ, multiple inputs, and the sheer power(220 watts total, 70 HF and 150 LF) of these monitors is just amazing.
Ease of Use:
Took a moment to set everything up but once it was all plugged in and setup properly they have been a dream to use.
Quality:
Solid in every aspect.
Value:
Great value, but they could have been cheaper as it is with most things.
Manufacturer Support:
I have yet to have any problems with them as i've only had them a month and a half.
The Wow Factor:
Lots of technology is running in these. They have very smooth lines that are quite appealing to the eyes and there is a db meter on the front of each speaker that fluctuates based on the volume being played. Very cool overall.
Overall:
I plan on keeping these for many years to come barring any huge issues such as completely failing on me or exploding for some reason :P after the warranty is up. The only other monitors I can think of that compare to these are the Dynaudio BM5As. Again the sound quality and versatility of these monitors is just astounding to me.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

JBL LSR4326P Monitor Customer Review

Sound:
I have used these monitors and was not really impressed with the sound. It was very clean sounding and seem to have the capability to sound nice but who ever set these up had them set up in such a way that it sounded so harsh. I heard a pair of DS-8's right next to them and it just blew these away. I own a pair of DS-7's and i just love them to death. Ive been in the pro audio business for about 5 years now and have always been an audiophile which translated great into my career as an engineer and producer. As far as sound quality, i don't think they're worth the 1k price tag. I would look into something like ADAM professional if you have that budget, if not check out some Roland DS-8's or 7's if you don't have the space.
Feature:
As far as JBL's technology for "removing" room resonance, i can tell you from experience and knowledge its a bunch of crap. You cant EQ out problem areas. Don't get me wrong, it drastically improves the accuracy of the speaker in the given area, but don't confuse it as the 100% problem solver: far from it. Nothing beats properly designed Bass Traps, and MF, HF absorption and diffusion. So, if you have resonance in your room, look into building some bass traps and some broadband absorbers, failing that some Auralex and then maybe this speaker. But bass traps are a NEED to improve the accuracy of ANY speaker in the Low Mid and Bass areas. So don't be fooled by JBL. It helps, but it don't fix it.
Ease of Use:
Seems pretty easy to use and set up.
Quality:
JBL always makes robust products. So I would buy this, I'm just skeptical if it really sounds THAT harsh...the way i heard it.
Value:
Its pretty good as far as value, but I dont think theyre worth THAT MUCH!
Manufacturer Support:
IDK
The Wow Factor:
Im thinking of demoing a pair in my room. I have acoustic treatments in my room, and I would like to actualy hear JBL's technology coupled with that to see if I can hear things I wasnt hearing before.
Overall:
Good product. A bit expensive for its build, but non the less I am intrested.
